قائمة البحيرات حسب الحجم


☰ جدول المحتويات


This article lists بحيرةs with a water volume of more than 100 km³, ranked by volume. The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. Generally, the volume must be inferred from قياس الأعماق by تكامل. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates. For these reasons, and because of changing research, information on lake volumes can vary considerably from source to source. The base data for this article is from The Water Encyclopedia (1990).[1] Where volume data from more recent surveys or other authoritative sources has been used it is referenced specifically in each entry.

The largest lakes by volume vary little by season. This list does not include reservoirs; if it did, بحيرة كاريبا would come in at number 24.

In 1960, the بحر آرال was the world's twelfth largest known lake by volume, at 1,100 كـم3 (260 ميل3). However, by 2007 it had shrunk to 10% its original volume, divided into three lakes, none large enough to appear on this list.[9]

  2. The بحر قزوين is generally regarded by geographers, biologists and علم المسطحات المائية الداخليةs as a huge inland بحيرة مالحة. It is حوض مغلق (having no outlet), and can be compared to other large (but still much smaller) endorheic salt lakes, such as the بحر آرال, البحيرة المالحة الكبرى and بحيرة وان. However, the Caspian's large size means that for some purposes it is better modeled as a sea. Geologically, the Caspian, Black, and Mediterranean seas are remnants of the ancient بانثالاسا. Politically, the distinction between a sea and a lake may affect how the Caspian is treated by international law.
  3. Lake Maracaibo is generally regarded as a lake, but is seen by geologists as an inlet of the البحر الكاريبي. It lies approximately at sea level, is somewhat salty and is connected to the Caribbean via a channel at its northern end.
  4. Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world and the largest ماء عذب lake by volume.
